Report on NGOs: Udayakumar moves HC against IB official
Last Updated: Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 00:28
Chennai: Madras High Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Union
Home Secretary on a petition by anti- nuclear activist SP Udayakumar
seeking action against an Intelligence Bureau official for allegedly
leaking a "secret" document on foreign funding of NGOs with a view to
maligning him.
Justice M Satyanaranan ordered issuance of the notice when the petition by
Udayakumar, who is co-coordinator of the People's Movement Against Nuclear
Energy (PMANE), came up for hearing. PMANE is spearheading the protest
against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant.
Udayakumar alleged that a Joint Director in IB had sent a report to the
Union Home Ministry on June 3, 2014, entitled 'Concerted efforts by select
foreign-funded NGOs to take down Indian Development Projects'.
Even though the report was marked "secret", the officer leaked it to the
media with a view to maligning his reputation, Udayakumar has charged.
He further claimed that the official had committed an offence punishable
under the Intelligence Organisations (Restriction of Rights) Act.
Udayakumar said he had sent a legal notice to the Union Home Secretary to
take appropriate action against the IB officer, but no action had been
initiated.
